Tan Xiu had a strong self-control, but facing Manager Huang's strange eyes, he still felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He almost couldn't help but get up and leave.
"Manager Huang, right? You don't need to care about me. Go and do your thing. When it's time to cut the ribbon, just come and call me. Also, Ouyang Lulu is a bit feverish today. Her brain might be a bit confused, so don't take her joke seriously. "
"Interesting!"
Manager Huang almost laughed when she heard Tan Xiu's words.
She had been following Ouyang Lulu for several years and could be considered as Ouyang Lulu's right-hand man, which was why she was appointed as the General Manager of Shanghai's Paradise Manor. She knew Ouyang Lulu's character like the back of her hand. She had never imagined that the dignified Ouyang Clan's eldest daughter, a proud daughter of heaven who had pride flowing in her bones, would actually be so thick-skinned to pursue a boy. Most importantly, this boy seemed to be a few years younger than her, and he even used all sorts of excuses and was unwilling to do so.
"The iron tree blossoms, the sow climbs the tree."
Manager Huang looked down on Tan Xiu, but she found Ouyang Lulu's behavior particularly interesting. However, she didn't want to waste time with Tan Xiu during this critical period. She slightly nodded with a fake smile and turned around to leave.
Tang Xiu's eyes retracted from Manager Huang's back as he left. He felt quite bored and didn't feel like playing with his mobile anymore. He grabbed a fashion magazine on the table next to him, laid down on the sofa, and directly covered his face with the magazine, preparing to take a nap.
Time flew by.
While he was in a daze, two arguing voices entered his ears.
"Brother Jiang, the process of growing up is like breaking out of a cocoon and becoming a butterfly. Struggling to shed all the immaturity and ugliness, shaking light and beautiful wings under the sun, sparkling and slightly trembling in happiness. For example, Ouyang Lulu has shed her immaturity and matured day by day. Now, she has come to Shanghai to work hard. Today's big scene was all caused by her alone. "
"Brother Chen, although what you said is somewhat reasonable, I have some other opinions. Growing up is constantly facing some sad things until you know what it means to experience the vicissitudes of life. "
"Brother Jiang, your words do sound like my master's," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"Your Master? Brother Chen, you actually have a master? Your teacher is … "
"No …"
Tan Xiu sat up from the sofa and removed the fashion magazine covering his face. Then, he lightly said, "I'm his Master."
On the sofa opposite the coffee table, the two of them looked at Tan Xiu at the same time.
"Master, you're here too?"
When Chen Zhizhong first came over, he found someone sleeping on the opposite sofa. Although he felt that this situation was a little strange, he did not recognize Tan Xiu's identity.
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Ouyang Lulu sent the wedding invitation to me, so I came to support her. As for you, why did you come to Shanghai? "
Chen Zhizhong respectfully said, "I came to Shanghai to sign a contract and happened to hear from Ouyang Lulu's big brother, Ouyang Lei. She opened a restaurant in Shanghai, so I came to congratulate her. Master, I know you're studying at Shanghai University. I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't plan to look for you. I didn't expect to see you here. "
"En!"
Tan Xiu nodded and looked at the other person.
Jiang Feng was dumbfounded. The relationship between Tan Xiu and Chen Zhizhong made him confused. After all, Chen Zhizhong's age was more than half of Tan Xiu's, yet he turned out to be Tan Xiu's disciple. It was really hard for him to accept it.
With a calm expression, Chen Zhizhong said, "Brother Jiang, we're both martial artists. I think you should understand the truth of the master. My Master is very powerful, much more powerful than me. I think even you … "
Jiang Feng forced a smile and interrupted Chen Zhizhong's words, saying, "Brother Chen, I know Mr. Tang is very powerful. I've suffered under him before."
"What's going on?"
Chen Zhizhong slightly stared blankly and turned to look at Tan Xiu with a strange expression.
Tan Xiu lightly said, "His Victorious Dragon Martial School's people attracted a calamity and he was implicated."
Chen Zhizhong was very astute and instantly understood the meaning of Tan Xiu's words. He then said with a smile, "If that's the case, then I don't need to explain anymore. Master, Brother Jiang is actually a straightforward and upright person. He's a good martial arts master. However, his Victorious Dragon Martial School has a large number of people, so it's inevitable that some black sheep will appear. "
Tan Xiu nodded and lightly said, "You must act according to your ability. Nothing can be accomplished without rules and regulations. Only strict dogma can cultivate real talents."
Jiang Feng gratefully looked at Chen Zhizhong and nodded to Tan Xiu, saying, "I'll keep your teachings in mind, Mr. Tang. The number of people in my Victorious Dragon Martial School is now only one-fifth of what it used to be. Furthermore, I've re-formulated the rules and anyone who dares to violate them will be severely punished. "
A smile finally appeared on Tan Xiu's face as he said, "A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. I'm sure you've tasted the bitter fruit of being implicated, so there won't be any problems in the future. Alright, you two have a chat! I'm going out for a stroll. "
Tan Xiu got up and walked a few steps. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to look at Chen Zhizhong, asking, "When are you going back to Star City?"
"I originally planned to go back today, but it's too late after the opening ceremony of the Paradise Manor, so I'm going back tomorrow. What's your order, Master? "
"Come with me after the opening ceremony!" Tan Xiu said. "We'll go back to Star City the day after tomorrow."
"Alright!"
A touch of joy appeared in Chen Zhizhong's eyes as he replied respectfully.
He had been looking for Tan Xiu recently because the True Qi inside his body had been completely transformed into True Essence, yet his cultivation speed was too slow. His strength had not improved much until now. According to his understanding of his Little Junior Sister Gu Yin, Gu Yin should have surpassed him in terms of cultivation.
Therefore …
He needed Tan Xiu's guidance and help.
As Tan Xiu left, Jiang Feng praised, "Mr. Tang's strength is indeed very strong. I've broken through to the martial arts grandmaster realm, yet I'm still not his match. I even have a feeling that even if I make another breakthrough and double my strength, I'm afraid I'm still not his match. "
A proud look appeared on Chen Zhizhong's face as he said with a slightly proud expression, "He's naturally very strong since he can be my Master."
"Brother Chen, Mr. Tang may be very strong, but I still don't get it. With his age, how can you …" Jiang Feng curiously asked.
Chen Zhizhong lightly smiled and said, "My Master just said that the one who achieves is the master. I want to reach a higher realm in martial arts, so it's normal for me to worship him as my Master. I forgot to tell you that my cultivation is no longer the same as before because of my Master. How about we have a match if there's a chance? "
Jiang Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "Brother Chen, let's forget about it! Mr. Tang's strength is very strong, I'm sure of it. But half a year ago, you were far away from the martial arts grandmaster realm. Even if you have his guidance and your cultivation has advanced by leaps and bounds, I don't think you can reach the martial arts grandmaster realm, right? "
A smile was revealed on the corner of Chen Zhizhong's mouth.
Martial arts grandmaster?
With his current strength, even if 8 martial arts grandmasters joined hands, they would not be his match.
Looking at Jiang Feng's slightly contemptuous expression, he lightly smiled and said, "When we return to Star City, I'll personally go to the Victorious Dragon Martial School to compare notes with you. I hope you won't deliberately lose when the time comes."
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "No problem. Then I'll be waiting for you."
On the tree-lined path outside, Tan Xiu had his hands in his pockets as he enjoyed the beautiful scenery inside the manor. To his surprise, there were a lot of rare birds and beasts in the lush and verdant woods on both sides. All of these animals were locked in iron cages, with two snow-white tigers being particularly eye-catching.
"Ouyang Lulu has spent a lot of effort to tinker with this manor. However, many of these rare birds and beasts are protected by the state. Does she have the right to keep them in captivity? " Tan Xiu thought for a moment and suddenly revealed a helpless smile on his face. He felt that he was really bored to actually care about such trivial matters.
Suddenly!
His complexion suddenly changed as a thought emerged in his mind. As the thought sprouted in his mind, he immediately clenched his fists and an intense light burst out from his eyes.
Keeping them in captivity?
That's right!
Back when he was in the Immortal World, he had kept a lot of immortal beasts in captivity. Many of them were kept in captivity since they were young. He had personally refined the Beast God Pill to feed them. After they had opened their spiritual wisdom, he had injected the cultivation technique suitable for immortal beasts into their Sea of Consciousness. At that time, he had cultivated a lot of powerful immortal beasts.
"That's right. I need the bones of fierce beasts for my cultivation, but hunting them is too troublesome. I might as well keep some wild beasts in captivity and feed them with the Beast God Pill. Then, they will transform. If they can open their spiritual wisdom within my expectation, I can train them to be able to sit up and help them in battle. But if they can't open their spiritual wisdom within the expected time, I can kill them and use them for my cultivation. "
"Also! I have tens of millions of medicinal fields in the Immortal World with countless rare herbs. If I can also grow them on a large scale, not only can I use them for my cultivation in the future, but also the people I train can use them. "
"Earth is too small. Once I and the people I train have a higher cultivation level, I'm afraid it won't be enough even if I collect all the resources on the entire Earth. It seems I have to prepare in advance. "
"Money! I'm afraid it will be lacking. After all, a lot of land is going to be an extremely huge amount. Nine Dragons Island will be able to grow herbs and raise wild beasts in captivity, but I must also establish bases in other places. "
"I need to carefully select the most suitable place for captivity and planting. The investment of funds and the management of personnel must also be solved. "
"…"
Thoughts kept churning in Tan Xiu's mind. When he sorted out his thoughts and memorized all these ideas, he clenched his fists and released a firm look in his eyes.
